School Uniform

School uniform and students’ appearance are both important to us. They demonstrate that our students are proud to be a King Edward VI King’s Norton School Boy. This is what our uniform looks like:

Shoes

Black Shoes (not trainers or trainer shoes and no logos)

Please be aware that some shops, including shoe shops, market trainer shoes as school shoes.

If you are unsure if the shoes you are considering meet our expectations, please feel free to contact the school before you purchase them. You can send a photo of the shoes to enquiry@knbs.co.uk

School Tie*

Dark blue with light blue stripes, this can be purchased from our uniform suppliers (school does not stock ties).

School Blazer*

The blazer is dark blue and single breasted with the KEVI King’s Norton School for Boys school badge sewn on to the pocket. Our school blazer is a compulsory part of our school uniform.

Trousers

Trousers should be grey or black in colour, of normal width in the leg, and not jeans or jeans material.

Jumper

A plain navy blue ‘V’-necked jumper is an optional part of the uniform. It can be a non-branded item or purchased from suppliers with the school crest. 

School Shirt

School shirts should be white or light blue in colour. They can be long or short sleeved.

In the summer term only, students can opt to wear a navy-blue polo shirt with the school crest – these can be purchased from our suppliers.

Clothing for PE lessons

  • Navy blue sports shorts – with or without school crest
  • Sky blue sports socks for outdoor and white ankle socks for indoor (interchangeable)
  • (Indoor/summer) White polo shirt – with or without school crest
  • (Outdoor/Winter) school rugby/outdoor sports shirt with crest from uniform suppliers.

Students will need trainers for indoor lessons and football boots for football and rugby sessions.  They should also bring shin pads and a gum shield for those sports in order to play competitive and game situations. 

Naming Items

Please make sure that all articles of clothing are marked with your son’s name. We have significant amounts of lost property each year that we are unable to return as it is not named.

Uniform for students in Years 7-11 must be worn on all journeys to and from school and on journeys (away matches, visits, etc) in school time, unless otherwise informed.

Body Adornments and Haircuts

We discourage all body and facial piercing. We allow a single stud in each ear lobe to be worn. Students are also not allowed to wear temporary tattoos to school.

Students who arrive with extreme haircuts (including lines, circles/logos or bright colours) or deliberately flout the uniform regulations will lose SDfL points. This could result in Internal Suspension in extreme or persistent cases. It will be appreciated that the school’s decision about whether or not appearance is appropriate for school must be the final one.

Equipment

All students should carry the basics: two black pens, pencil, ruler, rubber, and a pencil case in a full-sized bag. More specialist equipment may become useful as students move through the school.
